Third quarter 2025 net revenues were $17.6 million

 

Emrosi™ total prescriptions increased 146% over the second quarter of 2025

 

Emrosi net revenues were $4.9 million

 

Company to hold conference call today at 4:30 p.m. ET to discuss the financial results and provide a business update

 

Scottsdale, AZ – November 12, 2025 – Journey Medical Corporation (Nasdaq: DERM) (“Journey Medical,” “the Company,” “we” or “our”), a commercial-stage pharmaceutical company primarily focused on selling and marketing FDA-approved prescription pharmaceutical products for the treatment of dermatological conditions, today announced financial results and recent corporate highlights for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

 

Claude Maraoui, Journey Medical’s Co-Founder, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “Our third quarter 2025 results reflect continued strong execution and accelerating commercial momentum, with revenue increasing 21% year-over-year to $17.6 million. Emrosi™ continues to drive growth, generating $4.9 million in net sales in the third quarter alone, supported by robust market adoption and payer access that continues to expand. We anticipate the growth of Emrosi and our established dermatology commercial infrastructure to generate significant operating leverage going forward.”

 

Mr. Maraoui added, “Emrosi’s clinical differentiation was further validated this quarter through a pooled Phase 3 efficacy analysis presented at the Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference, which confirmed statistically significant clinical superiority over both Oracea® and placebo. As Emrosi gains recognition among both dermatologists and patients, we believe it is well-positioned to become the preferred treatment for inflammatory lesions of rosacea.”

 

Financial Results for the Third Quarter 2025:

 

·Revenues totaled $17.6 million in the third quarter of 2025, representing a 21% increase compared to $14.6 million in the third quarter of 2024, driven by incremental net product revenue related to the U.S. commercial launch of Emrosi.

 

·Gross margin(1) continues to improve from quarter to quarter in 2025 (Q1-63.5%; Q2-67.1%; Q3-67.4%), driven by net revenues from Emrosi and Qbrexza, our higher-margin products, and lower overall inventory period costs. Gross margin was 67.4% in the third quarter of 2025 compared to 69.4% in the third quarter of 2024. The higher gross margin in the third quarter of 2024 was primarily due to the favorable impact of one-time non-operational adjustments and product mix in the third quarter of 2024.

 

·Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses were $12.1 million for the third quarter of 2025, reflecting a 6% increase compared to $11.4 million in the third quarter of 2024. The increase is primarily due to the incremental operational activities related to the launch and commercialization of Emrosi. SG&A for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2025, and 2024 includes non-cash stock compensation of $1.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

 

 

 

·Net loss was $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2025, compared to a net loss of $2.4 million for the third quarter of 2024, or $(0.09) per share basic and diluted or $(0.12) per share basic and diluted, respectively.

 

·EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA:

 

oFor the third quarter ended September 30, 2025, EBITDA was a negative $0.5 million, compared to a negative $1.0 million for the third quarter of 2024, reflecting an improvement of $0.5 million. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter was a positive $1.7 million, versus a positive $0.3 million in the prior-year quarter, reflecting an improvement of $1.4 million.

 

·EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, each of which is reconciled to the most directly comparable financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP in the table below under “Use of Non-GAAP Measures.”

 

·At September 30, 2025, the Company had $24.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, as compared to $20.3 million at December 31, 2024.

 

Recent Corporate Highlights:

 

·In October 2025, efficacy data from a pooled analysis of the two Phase 3 multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group, active-comparator and placebo-controlled clinical trials, Minocycline Versus Oracea® in Rosacea-1 (MVOR-1) and Minocycline Versus Oracea in Rosacea-2 (MVOR-2), evaluating Emrosi™ (40 mg Minocycline Hydrochloride Modified-Release Capsules, 10 mg immediate release and 30 mg extended release) (or “DFD-29”) for the treatment of inflammatory lesions of rosacea in adults, were presented at the 2025 Fall Clinical Dermatology Conference. Emrosi demonstrated superior efficacy in Investigator’s Global Assessment (“IGA”) treatment success rates and inflammatory lesion count reduction versus both placebo and doxycycline (P<0.001 for all comparisons).

 

·In July 2025, Journey Medical announced expanded payer access with over 100 million commercial lives in the United States for Emrosi. This compares to 54 million commercial lives in May 2025. Full commercial launch began on April 7, 2025.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures:

 

In addition to the GAAP financial measures as presented in our Form 10-Q that will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company has, in this press release, included certain non-GAAP measurements, including EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share basic and Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted. We define EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes and depreciation and we define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) excluding interest, taxes and depreciation, less certain other non-cash and infrequent items not considered to be normal, recurring operating expenses, including, share-based compensation expense, amortization and impairments of acquired intangible assets, inventory step-ups from the purchases of intangibles assets and products, severance, short-term research and development expense and foreign exchange transaction losses. In particular, we exclude the following matters for the reasons more fully described below:

 

  · Share-Based Compensation Expense:  We exclude share-based compensation from our adjusted financial results because share-based compensation expense, which is non-cash, fluctuates from period to period based on factors that are not within our control, such as our stock price on the dates share-based grants are issued.

 

  · Non-core and Short-term Research and Development Expense:  We exclude research and development costs incurred principally in connection with Emrosi™, which was the only product in our portfolio not approved for marketing and sale during the prior-year reporting period, because we do not consider such costs to be normal, recurring operating expenses that are core to our long-term strategy. Instead, our long-term strategy is focused on the marketing and sale of our core FDA-approved dermatological products and the out licensing of our intellectual property and related technologies.

 

  · Amortization and impairments of Acquired Intangible assets:  We exclude the impact of certain amounts recorded in connection with the acquisitions of intangible assets that are either non-cash or not normal, recurring operating expenses due to their nature, variability of amounts, and lack of predictability as to occurrence and/or timing. These amounts may include non-cash items such as the amortization impairments of acquired intangible assets and amortization of step-ups of acquisition accounting adjustments to inventories.

 

Adjusted EBITDA per share basic and Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted are determined by dividing the resulting Adjusted EBITDA by the number of shares outstanding on an actual and fully diluted basis.

 

Management believes the use of these non-GAAP measures provides meaningful supplemental information regarding the Company’s performance because (i) it allows for greater transparency with respect to key measures used by management in its financial and operational decision-making, (ii) it excludes the impact of non-cash or, when specified, non-recurring items that are not directly attributable to the Company’s core operating performance and that may obscure trends in the Company’s core operating performance and (iii) it is used by institutional investors and the analyst community to help analyze the Company's results. However, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA per share basic, Adjusted EBITDA per share diluted and any other non-GAAP financial measures should be considered as a supplement to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Further, non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company and the manner in which they are calculated may differ from the non-GAAP financial measures or the calculations of the same non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies, including the Company’s competitors.
